life is what you make it!

I find it quite amusing that while I'm not feeling particularly inspired to blog about anything special today, the only thing I have is a catchy little title from Hannah Montana.  Joking aside, it's true.  Each day, you wake up and have a chance to start fresh with a blank slate.  You get to decide whether it's going to be a great day, or, you can choose to let frivilous irritations get under your skin so much that you can't concentrate on the good stuff happening all around you. 

I just let my dog outside and took much pleasure in just watching her run around chasing a butterfly and sniffing around what appears to be a mole hole in our backyard.  Does she care that she's smelling a tad too much like a pup today (translation:  it's bath time) or that her hair is a little on the shaggy side?  No.  She's perfectly content to wake up each day, get her tummy rubbed before her family leaves for school and work, and get a few minutes of fresh air to play in the yard.  Take note, my friends.  I think she's on to something.

Slow down, and take time to check out the mole holes!

  1. We can learn much from dogs. Other than licking specific places of our anatomy and sniffing other animals' bums, but they live in the moment, understand another creature's energy and react to that. And rolling down the hill on their backs looks satisfying, I might have to try it today
